Post/Gothic Rock Project Amphettamine Releases New Single “Anesthesia”

Amphettamine has just unveiled its latest single, a powerful reimagining of “Anesthesia”, a classic from the iconic gothic metal band Type O Negative. This release is not only a tribute but also a profound artistic statement that precedes the singer’s highly anticipated second full-length album.

“I’ve always been a huge fan of Type O Negative, and this song in particular — despite being one of the band’s classics — is my favorite,” says Amandha Ribaski. “I can honestly say that ‘Anesthesia’ is a song I’ve always wished I had been the original composer of. Beyond the profound lyrics, which are similar to the kind I write, it also contains instrumental elements I love — elements that, in an inspiring way, are also present in Amphettamine’s music. In short, it’s a song I wish I had written, so I felt it was fitting to pay tribute to it while I continue working on the compositions for my second full-length album.”

Amphettamine’s re-recording of “Anesthesia” brings a fresh perspective to the track while preserving the dark, melancholic essence that made it an anthem for Type O Negative fans. At the same time, it infuses Amphettamine’s unique sound and artistic identity. The single acts as a bridge between the artist’s earlier work and the new material set to appear on her upcoming project, offering listeners a glimpse into the musical and lyrical evolution still to come.

The single “Anesthesia” is now available on all streaming platforms:  https://onerpm.link/270135030507

Amphettamine is a solo project conceived and founded in early 2020 by Amandha Ribaski (composer and vocalist). Lyrically, it delves into dark, real, and everyday themes inspired by personal experiences. The melodies mirror these nuances, striving for originality while drawing influences from post-grunge, gothic, and industrial sounds. The project also features contributions from guest musicians.
